Am Wasser, vor dem Fall
A Horse at the Water, a Waterfall Behind
A round tsuba of shibuichi with a soft grey ground. At the right edge a horse stands with a figure beside it, worked in relief with touches of gold. Below them a bank slopes down to a stream, and small clumps of bamboo grass in gold grow along the water. On the back a waterfall drops from the left edge into a pool.
The signature beside the seppa-dai reads Toshinaga, with a kao. What it means for the guard waits for the piece itself. The tsuba comes from the collection of Alan Hartman in New York and is in Japan at present. Its page follows on its return.
